How did the Norse & the Sámi Interact? | The History with Hilbert Podcast

The famous interactions of Norsemen in the Viking Age are the violent ones in places like Lindisfarne in 793 or Clontarf in Ireland in 1014 or Stamford Bridge in 1066.

I’ll be inviting some guests on in future and hopefully making it a regular, perhaps weekly or biweekly feature. Let me know what you think!
